"It's over! This tiger beat this tiger! Why did he dare to go out with anything?"

Guo Ying has seen all kinds of scenes in her life, and she has never panicked, but now she is so panicked and so nervous.

Because Zhu Zhi's words were like jumping up and sucking the emperor's face!

However, in the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Yunxiu was not angry because of Zhu Zhi's words.

He knew this fifteenth uncle. As his name was, he was very straightforward and stubborn, and he had to admit his truth.

When the old man asked Zhu Yunyu to take charge of the Eastern Palace, almost all the vassal kings were complaining in their hearts, who could not establish a different generation? If so many sons don’t choose, they must choose a grandson.

Only Zhu Zhi is different. Since the old man established Zhu Yunyu, he really treated Zhu Yunyu as the crown prince to respect and be loyal. In the year of fighting Goryeo and the war in the north of the Selangor region, he always wanted to emptiate his family's fortunes and loyal to the court.

In short, it's just a word. He does whatever Zhu Yunhuang asks him to do, and he never causes trouble for the emperor Zhu Yunhuang.

He is kind and upright, but the more he is like this, the more he is, the more he is willing to be honest.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at Zhu Zhi, sighed, and whispered, "Uncle Fifteen, what if I asked you to hand over your fiefdom and your troops?"

"Hmm?" Zhu Zhi suddenly widened his eyes and said aggrievedly, "The Emperor can't believe me? You can't believe me even? I... Emperor, I, the fifteenth brother, have no place to let you down in the past few years!"

As he said that, he lowered his head and said, "It seems that Brother Six and the others are all wrong!"

"I'm saying if!" Zhu Yunxiu is also a human being. If he is a human being, he has feelings. Seeing Zhu Zhi like this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. But he is the emperor. The so-called butt determines the head, and personal feelings must be succumbed to interests.

And this interest is not only the interests of the emperor himself, but also the interests of the entire country.

"I am straight, not stupid!" Zhu Zhi smiled bitterly, "You really want to reduce the vassal state!" As he said that, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Emperor, the vassal state is the old man who set up a vassal state to protect the world. The Zhu family's sons have scattered branches and leaves and reproduced children in various parts of the world."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Zhu Yunxiu and said, "Your Majesty, can't you tolerate us? The world is yours, you are the emperor. But this world was defeated by the old man. People like us are his own sons and grandsons!"

Then, he continued to look at Zhu Yunxiu, "Your Majesty, don't talk about our Tian family, just say that ordinary people in the folk have divided their families. It is true that the eldest son inherits the family business, but the family property is evenly divided by all sons. You have inherited the Grand Duchy and are already the emperor, but you have to hold everything in your hands. Is that right?"

"I have never contradicted you, nor have I disobeyed you. But if you cut off the vassal states, you are... just unrighteous!"

Zhu Yunxi was silent for a while.

The next moment, he got up from the Arhat bed and sat up, and gave Zhu Zhi a cup of tea with his own hands.

At this moment, Deng Ping whispered outside, "Emperor, Mr. Guo is here!"

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly, "Come in!"

"Old minister Guo Ying, come to the emperor!"

As soon as Guo Ying entered the hall, he bowed a lot. His anxious expression was beyond words. He spoke, "Your Majesty, the Fifteenth Master is a little straightforward, but he has no bad intentions. The old minister watched him grow up. His old minister knew that he was a person who had absolutely no bad intentions." As he said that, he hurriedly said, "And the Fifteenth Master is a straightforward person who is not very good at speaking, and the emperor is magnanimous..."

"I don't mean to blame Uncle Fifteen!" Zhu Yunxiu interrupted him, then looked at Zhu Zhi and smiled, "Uncle Fifteen can talk to me like this, but he is also intimate with me! Although his words are a bit contradictory, it is always better than others hiding it!"

After saying that, he glanced at Guo Ying lightly.

But just this glance made Guo Ying's heart skip a beat.

"Uncle Fifteen!" Zhu Yunxiu said to Zhu Zhi regardless of Guo Ying's kneeling, "You, I didn't expect my difficulties, nor our Ming Dynasty." As he said, he sighed, "Many things are not as simple as you think."

"Emperor!" Zhu Zhi suddenly turned his head and looked at Guo Ying, frowned, "Old Marquis Guo is still kneeling!" As he said, he looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and lowered his head, "He is my father-in-law after all!" Then, he muttered, "I am the son-in-law sitting, and he is the father-in-law kneeling, it's not a good thing!"

"Doesn't you have a toothache if you don't speak? At this time, do you care if I'm kneeling or standing?"

Guo Ying was so angry that she felt upset and gritted her teeth in secret.

"Turn a stool for him!" Zhu Yunxiu patted his forehead and looked at Zhu Zhi again, "I know your grievances, but some things are not something you feel wronged, he is right!"

"The seal is the rule of ancestors set by the old man!" Zhu Zhi frowned, "Your Majesty, our Zhu family has twenty-six houses!"

"Twenty-six heads are twenty-six vassal kings!" Zhu Yunyu interrupted him, looked at his eyes and said seriously, "You uncles are all princes of the Ming Dynasty. Your legitimate sons are also princes, and the rest of the concubines are princes, right?"

Zhu Zhi nodded.

"Your legitimate grandson is also a prince, and your concubine grandson is also a prince. Then from your concubine's son, there are also a large number of dukes, generals, and royal families, right?"

"Yes!" Zhu Zhi blinked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhu Yunxiu patiently said, "Every time he was granted a title, the court would give the land, the population, tenants, craftsmen, and soldiers, as well as palaces, and cities to build cities. The land under their names is not taxable. Uncle Fifteen has endless children and grandchildren, but the territory of the Ming Dynasty is quite numerous, right?"

"Twenty-six houses, how many mouths are open! In another hundred years, not to mention the enfeoffment of their land, just salary can make the Ming Dynasty poor, right?"

"At that time, I'm afraid that the whole world will be gathered to support our entire Zhu family is not enough!"

"Isn't that supposed?" Zhu Zhi just couldn't twist this force, "The country was built by our ancestors. Is it wrong for our ancestors to plant trees and later generations to enjoy the shade? The world is the Zhu family, and of course the Zhu family wants to be glorious and wealthy and be the best!"

"The country was conquered by the old man, but the world is not owned by our Zhu family!" Zhu Yunxiu also felt a little angry.

Zhu Zhi suddenly said hard, "Yes, it's not the Zhu family, it's the emperor, you are the emperor! These uncles and kings are prodigal sons who enjoy their family's wealth. The emperor's sons have been the emperor for generations and princes!"

"Fifteenth Master!" Guo Ying exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about?" As he said that, he quickly got up and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Fifteenth Master..."

As soon as he spoke, he saw Zhu Yunyu raise his hand and signal to prevent him from speaking.

Zhu Zhi also consciously said nothing and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, I'm still saying that. Sixth Brother and the others are wrong. You just deal with them. What do you have to do with their son? The king's title was given by the father at the beginning, so you just cut it directly. What should you do if you ask the emperor and grandchildren to do in the future?"

As he said that, he sighed, "If you think that the military power in your hands is annoying, okay, let's hand it over. Can't we be the prince of Xiaoyao in the fiefdom? Could it be that the emperor insists on learning from Li Tang, building the Sixteen Kings' house in Beijing, feeding his uncles and cousins ​​as pigs, and guarding against thieves?"

Zhu Yunxiu suppressed the anger in his heart and clenched his fists.

"Who told you that I want to build the Sixteen Kings House?" Zhu Yunxi said coldly, "Who told you that my sons will belong to the prince in the future?"

"Then..." Zhu Zhi looked up, "What do you want?"

"Come!" Zhu Yunxiu said to the outside world.

"I'm here!" Deng Ping appeared at the door.
